whatcha doin'?

Hi! So happy that I got to pick up a few Tiddly Inks Wryns during a great sale! I was so excited that I printed some out and made a card last night for Tiddly Inks Challenge 81 -- Fabric Fun. I actually stayed up really late to finish and good thing it was the weekend so I could sleep in this morning even if it was just an hour more. Kids--why do they always wake up so early on the weekends?

So ever since I first saw this Whatcha Doin'? Wryn, I thought she'd look great looking out a window or something so that's the idea of my card. I kind of wish I had one of those window frame dies. But have to make do with what I got. I used PTI felt for the clouds (also PTI dies), grass and flowers.

I printed the sentiment out and used MFT's Say What die to cut her little word bubble. I also made little bows with embroidery thread for her hair and cut out her tiny little hands to stick out over the window (a bit challenging).

I put together a little picket fence and impressed the woodgrain (both from PTI). There is felt grass behind the paper one using MFT's grass die. I die cut the tiny flowers from felt (also a bit challenging) using an old Sizzix Hello Kitty die and added some rhinestones to them too.

I spent a lot of time just crafting yesterday and so maybe I lost track of what chores I had done. I thought I had put the laundry from the wash into the dryer but realized at night that it was still sitting in the washer. OR maybe it's because I do the laundry soooooo often that I can't keep track and everything just blends in together. Sigh, in any case, I do the laundry way too often.

Are you a genius, or what? This is fantastic! I love all of your fabric elements! I can't believe you cut her tiny little hands out! (I would have chopped a finger or two off for sure!) Those darn bows in her hair are just adorable, don't you just love embroidery floss?!

You are amazing Eva~Never a dull moment on your blog...So darn cute, at least you beat me to posting her before me.....LOL!!!love how you got her behind the window looking out and those cute blooms on the bottom..Fabulous my friend.....

You enabler! I just finished coloring the Wryn holding the hearts in the flower pot, doesn't help when a rugrat keeps saying "I need the brushy pen!" I think I'm stuck on making a card though...gotta look for sketches now. The hair bows are cute! I will need to try that. How in the world did you cut those tiny hands, my hand is cramping just thinking about it.

Adorable as always, girlfriend! I love the woodgrain picket fence and the small little felt flowers w/ rhinestones! Also love the hair on your Wren image! and i agree - kids have some radar that lets them wake up way earlier than a school day on weekends.

Um this is just the most ADORABLE thing...Love the fence and flowers and look at those fabulous fabric cloud! This is just gorgeous and is that paper brick embossed? OMgosh!Thanks for joining us at Tiddly Inks - this is GORGEOUS!Hugs,Melissa

Hi! I'm Eva. Simply put, I love to make things. Ever since I was a kid. And anything, really. Especially if it involves cute stamps, paper, pictures, ribbons, beads--the list goes on. I love visiting other crafting blogs for inspiration too. There are so many creative people out there. So thank you for stopping by our blog!

Hello, I'm Cheryl! I enjoy scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking, (beginning) photography. My fellow blogger/enabler got me into stamps and cardmaking. I think I like admiring patterned paper, playing with tools and gadgets, taking classes, and browsing other people's blogs too much! Maybe this will motivate me to get more pages/projects actually done!
